The Catholic eBooks Project

Is a public service blog that provides a library of links to Catholic Christian ebooks and e-texts that are legal, free, and faithful: that is, ebooks and e-texts that may be read online or downloaded LEGALLY (not pirated) and for FREE, and are FAITHFUL to the truths revealed by God to His Catholic Church.

It also has a (much shorter) list of Catholic ebooks available online for WORTH-IT prices.

It shall (we pray) list down in one place as many as may be possible of the thousands of Catholic ebooks legally and freely available in many websites, for the glory of God and the good of His holy Church, to whose teaching authority we submit without reservation.

It is dedicated to...

The Word Incarnate

Now this is eternal life: That they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. (St. John 17:3)

Leonine Prayer (from SanctaMissa.org)

O God, our refuge and our strength, look down with mercy upon the people who cry to Thee; and by the intercession of the glorious and immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Saint Joseph her spouse, of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the saints, in Thy mercy and goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the liberty and exaltation of the Holy Mother the Church. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
